There is also slight evidence as Marty from S21 and Natalie S16 are also returning. Natalie has been tweeting, but they seem kinda boring, and not replying to fans at all. Marty had an interview the night before they were supposed to leave.

I follow Dawn and Cochran and Andrea on Twotter and check them daily. Dawn and Cochran haven't tweeted in quite some time (hopefully enough confirmation as the two of them were my favorites of the season )

As for Andrea, she had one generic fitness tweet so I think it could be a handler. I think Erik is a good bet too

Edna posted over at sucks that she misses talking to Corinne and cochran so I think they're coming back.

1. Don't pick up the phone - You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone.2. Don't let him in - You have to kick him out again.3. Don't be his friend - You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning.And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him. ♥

Spoilers say they invited Troyzan to play S26 too. Troyzan left home for the filming location on May 14. But finally the crew decided to drop him out.

I'm glad with the decision then. I don't think there have been any "recent" memorable Survivor players. The golden period of Survivor where I still remembered most of the players should be from Palau all the way to Heroes VS Villians.. after which I can't remember anyone!

Survivor’s 25th season is being filmed in the Philippines right now, and there’s information that suggests the season will open with three tribes, and three returning cast members. Season 26 is rumored to include many more returnees, perhaps in addition to new players.

A photo posted to a Filipino message board Friday afternoon shows a challenge set-up that features three diving-board like objects, each of which is painted a different color. Survivor set design is usually pretty consistent with bright colors only being used to designate tribes, so the purple, yellow, and orange/red. However, it’s also possible that it’s from a three-team post-merge challenge; the week the photograph was published is around when a merge usually would take place.

There are also “reports,” which I place in quotation marks purposefully, that three past cast members, all of whom were medically evacuated from the game, will return: Michael Skupin, Jonathan Penner, and Russell Swan. There’s not much clear sourcing of that, and there’s some odd circular attribution, with this tweet from previous spoiler Jim Early/missyae suggest the three men being on the show is common knowledge, while other people are citing that tweet as evidence.

Someone on Survivor Sucks who claims insider knowledge confirmed those three names as part of a discussion, but it much earlier, late last year, a different person on Sucks posted that Russell Swan “hinted that we might be seeing him on the show again.”

There may have also been unintentional confirmation of this from Jeff Probst himself. After Colton was evacuated from the game, Probst tweeted that “Skupin was evacuated in episode 6, so was Jonathan Penner, so was Russell Swan and tonight so was Colton.” That the three men were on his mind shortly before production began may be more than a coincidence, and having them each in a separate tribe seems logical, following the model the show has established in recent years. Returning cast members are now the rule, not the exception.
